You Don't Have to Wait Until You're in Court
Mediation isn't only for lawsuits that have already been filed. AEP can help individuals, businesses, and other parties address disagreements before they escalate into litigation.
Parties can also use mediation when they need to negotiate and memorialize an agreement—even when there is no existing lawsuit.
EXAMPLES:
Business partners creating an agreement
Neighbors resolving a property dispute
Businesses negotiating contract terms
Parties resolving an existing disagreement
Organizations addressing workplace or operational disputes
Sometimes the best time to mediate is before you need a courtroom.
Not Every Civil Dispute Is About Money
Civil disputes don't always involve a demand for financial compensation. Mediation can also help parties reach agreements about actions that should be taken—or stopped.
Neighbor disputes
HOA issues
Property disputes
Workplace issues
Contract performance
Business relationships
Agreements requiring specific actions
Other non-monetary conflicts
How Does Civil Mediation Work?
1. Request Mediation
Tell us about your dispute and provide the basic information needed to get started.
2. Schedule Your Session
AEP coordinates the mediation and provides the parties with the information they need to prepare.
3. Mediate Remotely
A neutral mediator facilitates communication and helps the parties explore possible solutions.
4. Reach an Agreement
If the parties reach an agreement, the terms can be documented in writing.
Why Consider Civil Mediation Before Litigation?
SAVE TIME
Resolving a dispute through agreement can avoid lengthy litigation.
REDUCE COSTS
Early resolution may reduce the expense associated with prolonged legal disputes.
MAINTAIN CONTROL
The parties—not a judge—work together to determine the terms of their agreement.
KEEP IT PRIVATE
Mediation provides a confidential setting for parties to discuss their dispute and explore resolution.
